The costs of health and dental care continue to climb; consequently, if you are not protected with insurance, these expenses can add up fast. A trip to the dentist’s office for a routine visit can easily cost hundreds of dollars, or prescription drug costs for a chronic or major health incident could expose you to significant financial hardship. The safest way to guard against rapidly rising costs is to carry health and dental insurance.

OMA Insurance has you covered with both Health and Dental Insurance plans available to medical students, residents, physicians and their immediate family, as well as physician’s office staff. This comprehensive group medical and dental coverage helps you get all the benefits of care without the full brunt of the bill. ​​
